Ah!  Aptitude also has the ability to select tasks.  One of the
categories in the defaults displays is 'Tasks' and under that there are
things like 'End User' and 'Localisation'.  For XFCE you open 'End
User' and the highlight 'Xfce Desktop Environment' then press '+',
which select the packages in the task for installation.
